PUBLIC HEARING YES: NO: XX <br />ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: PAM JONES <br />EXT 2650 <br />BID TABULATION Telephone Number - <br />Hillsborough - 732 -8181 <br />Chapel Hill --967 -9251 <br />Mebane - 227 -2031 <br />Durham - 688 --7331 <br />PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid for work to be done as part of <br />the Courthouse Square Project. <br />BACKGROUND: The County has solicited bids for Phases I and II of the <br />Courthouse Square Project. The work consists of constructing flagstone <br />sidewalks along Churton Street and King Street around the Old <br />Courthouse and correcting drainage problems which exist on the site. <br />Phases III and IV consist of completing the sidewalks along Court and <br />King Streets and plantings. It is anticipated that these phases will <br />be funded during the 1991 -92 fiscal year. <br />Two alternates were included in the current bid; one for the flagstone <br />cut -aways to accommodate the benches; and the other for reduced <br />aggregate in the actual base construction of the sidewalks. Even with <br />the alternates, the project has significantly exceeded the funds <br />appropriated. It is therefore recommended that the County negotiate <br />with the low bidder to determine the cost of completion for Phase I <br />(King Street sidewalks) and whatever additional work can be done within <br />the confines of the appropriated funds. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Award the bid to C. C. Woods Construction Company for <br />an amount not to exceed $50,000; approve contracts, contingent upon <br />attorney and staff review; and authorize the Chair to sign on behalf of <br />the Board. <br />
